5 tips for getting started on Spundge

In the past four months, thousands of users have signed up for Spundge accounts and have created a vastly diverse collection of Notebooks. Here are several tips to get our newest Spundge users up and running quickly.

1. Set yourself up for success

Take the time to link your social media accounts. Linking to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn sets you up for being able to share content from Spundge via those accounts later on. We also access your social graph to suggest relevant Notebooks for you to follow. But we never post without your permission!

Install the Spundge It bookmarklet/Chrome extension so you can add content from anywhere on the web to your Notebooks. (Also learn how to master Spundge It!)

2. Help search engines and other people find you

Make sure to fill in all the profile fields: avatar/photo, full name, location, title/position and web link.

Fill out your bio with a description of the work you do and how it relates to the collection of Notebooks you’ll create. Here’s an example of a completed profile page that introduces the user and gives context to her Notebooks. It also helps search engines find her profile, and it makes it easy for other users to see if they want to connect with her and follow her Notebooks.

3. Start tracking your interests

Start your first Notebook. Write a short 1-2 word title for it, as only one line of the title shows up above each Notebook on your profile page.

Go to the Notebook’s Settings tab (above the Notebook results stream) and add a brief description. This provides context for what’s in your Notebook to anyone who might have an interest in following it. It also helps search engines find it.

Bonus: Follow Spundge on Twitter and like us on Facebook for more tips

Now that you’ve created your first Notebook, join the conversation on social media to learn how others are using Spundge. Each day on Twitter and Facebook, we share tips, examples of rich Notebooks and profiles and clever uses for embedded Spundge content on their sites.
